PARTS: x2 custom LED Head lights for Athearn Blue Box Switchers SW7 SW1500 etc

Description: A Pine Valley Models Exclusive - since 2017. ***Many sets sold so far, thanks for your continued patronage!*** Up for bid are TWO (2) new HO scale replacement LED assemblies for Athearn blue box switcher locomotives, fully assembled and easy to install (multiple lots available). These parts are custom made by hand, and meant to replace or be installed in place of the standard Athearn light bar in the front of their switchers, and they have a fully wired Sunny white/yellow LED with resistor installed in a custom mounting bracket with a special adhesive glue. I had made some of these for my models, and decided to make them available in case anyone else wanted an easy LED install solution. * Note that these are taller than the F-unit lights in my other auction, which are too short to light the headlight in the Athearn switchers properly.* As-is, they are fully wired for DC operation - installation is as easy as inserting in the existing metal "claw mount" on the front of the frame (and pinching it with pliers), and wiring the black wire to the top pickup strip or motor area - easy! (NOTE: due to the nature of how LEDs work, the LED will light only when the locomotive is going in the forward direction only). Can easily be converted to DCC by cutting the red wire from the clip, and wiring both to the decoder output. LED is already equipped with appropriate resistor for 12-16v operation/output from decoder (black wire is common/positive, red wire is negative/to function output - easy!). Lighting setups intended to fit Athearn blue box switcher locomotives including SW7, SW1000, SW1500, etc with the metal "claw clip" at the front of the frame (just install and pinch with pliers), or for parts or repair. The metal mount is custom made and holds the LED up higher to project out the front headlights better. For a double front/rear lighting solution, see my listing for "PARTS Athearn Blue Box locomotive warm white LED head lights DC/DCC EASY INSTALL", that can be routed to the front headlight as well as the rear cab headlight. Each switcher light set includes two lights, enough to do two Athearn locomotives. * NOTE: metal edges of brackets are cut relatively smooth with fine cutting side shears, but there may still be sharp edges at corners etc of brackets, so exercise caution all the same when handling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Shipping Etc Notes:----- (updated July 2022) Ships to Canada and continental US: Shipping rates shown in listing reflect the costs of postage, mailers, protective padding material, dollar fluctuations, and the time it takes to securely package and mail shipments. Smaller items are shipped in special mailers, larger ones are wrapped securely and sent in padded bubble mailers. Unfortunately, Canada Post + USPS cross-border shipping costs are higher than we'd like (and the US/CAD dollar fluctuation doesn't help), but one can save on shipping with combined shipping available on multiple purchases - additional items only incur a few extra cents to help pay for extra packing, so the more you order at once, the more it cuts down on repeat shipping charges over time. **** May ship to other places and countries on a case-by-case basis, upon request and review **** New shipping note:New US shipping rate added: option for Standard base rate $11.63 USD small packette shipping for cross-border tracking option to all US states, ideal for those placing larger orders. Regular Economy small packette shipping base rate (non-tracked) still an option at $7.33 USD for those who prefer less pricey Economy shipping for smaller orders. **Note, multiple items may add small 10-15 cent increases to cover extra packing and padding materials for additional items. Slow Shipping Sometimes: Lately Canada Post, USPS and/or customs seem to be taking longer than usual with some shipments to the US and Canada. Usually things arrive in 2-3 weeks' time at most US addresses from Ontario (Canada) where purchases are mailed from, but sometimes things can take an additional week or so to arrive depending on postal volume, customs, or if a package is going to the west coast or southern states (longer travel times). For most Canadian addresses, things tend to show up in 1-2 weeks, although it's often on the longer side for west coast purchases. I try to ship out all packages on the same day or the day after when possible, or for the coming Monday if it's a weekend or late Friday purchase. If a package doesn't show up at the end of three weeks, let me know - chances are it might be running late. *Note, Please contact me first and avoid opening an Item Not Arrived case, as eBay has recently changed its policies to be unfavorable to sellers in disputes. Ebay Charging US/Canada Sales Taxes: Recently eBay has started charging and collecting taxes on purchases made by users in some US states and Canadian provinces. Unfortunately, sellers (even those in Canada selling to the US) have no say in this and their hands are tied: eBay charges and collects/remits the money to the states/provinces themselves, independent of the sellers. Sellers don't receive any of the taxes charged by eBay in their own accounts (the money goes straight to eBay themselves when it's paid), and sellers cannot adjust those amounts charged by eBay. (Payment by Paypal, buyer must make payment within 3 days, examine all photos thoroughly, no refunds unless not as described in listing, item damaged, etc). If you see something you need more of, need something in particular like a custom lighting setup, or if you're having trouble checking out with combining shipping (use the *request total* feature, but sometimes eBay won't let you and just asks for payment) feel free to send me a message. Custom-tailored work (bigger/smaller, longer/shorter lenses) may be possible on a case-by-case basis.
